spoiled............

spoiled......


for a moment, mind
flashed with the moments
long forgotten and

instance of times
mind pleased to, pleasure at,
in small activities

those never failed to deliver happiness
be it playing in mud or running around trees
flying kites, & fishing only to beget tadpoles

a dive in the local pond to the ire of mother
returning home, with clothes being  soiled,
serving dish of choice, in lividness of anger

taking into arms with piece of advice
& peck on cheek, asking to pay and heed
and look for the future as lots in place

to grab your shoulders as growing up
so many tests & trails - awaits
to make a chance to give competition, up

the ladder, raise you high, taking steps
carefully, make monumental choices

and reach the sky - as it's the limit
make mother proud as you grow eminent

for a moment mind
flashed with moments
never paid heed

of mother's request & pain
alas!
lost everything being brazen
& spoiled brat...........!
